Ensign Miaxdiso Avoi - There's No Place Like Home!
Doz Finch
((Above the City of Idridi, Betazed))
Miaxdiso Avoi had hauled her best friend Xandria Cain across space to her homeworld Betazed, and had made sure to do it with style; now in the roofless convertible-style shuttle piloted by her mother Edi’s valet, they soared over the City of Idridi, taking in the sight of skyscrapers as tall as mountains, fulgurating and blinding in their striking glass designs, the jewel of the Idridian region.
Avoi: You’ll be attending one, of course! Don’t you worry about that. But first, I want you to soak it all in, Xandria. My home. My city. My Idridi!
Cain: It’s very bright.
The Betazoid threw her friend a wry smile, and then adjusted herself to get more of a better view of the sights around and below them. The skyscrapers all towered at different heights, some tipped with mansions, others lined with glitzy residents relaxing on their balconies, and here or there was the odd spire or two. Down below, as always, the place was buzzing, like looking down on a colony of colourful bees.
Cain: What’s our first stop? That bird bar you were telling me about? I could go for a drink. Or a dozen.
Avoi: My place of course! We ought to freshen up first before we visit everyone. We’re on a very tight schedule.
Xandria laughed, and Miax sighed sweetly.
Cain: Any cultural things I need to be aware of, Princess? I don’t want to embarrass you.
Avoi: ::She turned to Xandria and lowered her sunglasses.:: Xandria, just...be yourself.
Cain: Response
Wind still lapping at her face, she crossed her legs and smiled vibrantly toward her friend, as the valet’s bizarre music bombinated in the background. Her family was going to adore Xandria, she just knew it in her bones. Her father Astrim was likely to insist that she join him either at his cocktail making station or one of his upcoming runways, and her sister Reidaxmi would no doubt ask her endless questions about her Klingon heritage. Cigris was probably nowhere to be found, likely in a stranger's bed.
As for her mother Edi...
Avoi: All you really need to know about Betazoids is that we value honesty above all else. Some call it the “Naked Truth”. It’s a part of everyday life here. So you can only imagine the adjustment I had to make when I first attended the Academy. It was quite challenging!
Cain: Response
Avoi: ::Giggling.:: We're a very normal family. ::She gasped loudly.:: Oh, oh! Look! Look! There it is! Heeeee! ::She clapped.:: My beautiful penthouse!
The shuttle made a hard turn and began descending towards a white and cream one-floor rooftop home, with floor length panes of glass dazzling and glinting under the bright sun of what was shaping up to be a wonderful day. On the terrace surrounding it, white climbing plants dangled under the occasional shade of a few plum palm trees, the aroma already dancing a ballet-number in Miax’s nose.
